Dun Laoghaire Yacht Club Cuts Fee for New Members to €175
#dmyc – The Dun Laoghaire Motor Yacht Club (DMYC) has announced a new introductory membership fee. New members can now join for just €175 and enjoy all the facilities the Club has to offer. This rate will be for 2014, again in 2015 with the full rate of applicable membership (crew, ordinary etc.) applying after the two years. It might be a good way to introduce a friend, family member, business colleague to the water through the DMYC. It might even solve that age-old problem – “what do I get her/him/them for Christmas?”.

SB20 Open Day at Dun Laoghaire Aims to Recruit New Sportsboat Crew for 2014
#SB20 – Just because this coming Sunday is the last in the DBSC SB20 Sunday series on Dublin Bay does not mean the newly elected class captain is going to pack the boats away for winter. Far from it.
The fleet is celebrating a recent Dun Laoghaire world masters win in Hyeres, France and new fleet boss Michael O'Connor is capitalising on this international success and a buoyant domestic season by having an open day in Dun Laoghaire (National YC) on October 5th 2013.
The primary purpose is to attract new crew into the class because O'Connor says a constant bugbear with all classes and a common reason for boats not making it onto the start line is simply lack of crew.
The SB20 fleet are addressing this problem by demonstrating to prospective crew how exhilarating the SB20 can be and giving those sailors an opportunity to try one out.
'We would also welcome helms/prospective new owners on the day and we will be able to give them a taste of what it is like to sail in the largest sportsboat fleet in the country' O'Connor adds.
There will be several existing boat owners and experienced crew on hand on the day to answer any questions and help put the boats through their paces.
